Michael John Neill's genealogy website. Things that cross my path, general research suggestions, and whatever else ...with a little bit of attitude. I don't post "news" just to post it, never post a press release (edited or otherwise), don't feign excitement, and pretty much say what I think.

My Coin Arrives!

It arrived yesterday the coin I purchased on Ebay. It's not a real coin and there's no place I can spend it.

The general store owned by Boerner and Troutfetter in western Kansas closed in the early 20th century.

It's not often I can pick up a little bit of family history onEbay. There's more on Ebay than simply pictures and postcards.

If you've not searched for names and locations in your personal history, give it a try. While I don't know the provenance of this item, I have no reason to doubt it's what it purports to be.

I've got a few other items I'm watching on Ebay. We'll have updates for those items I am fortunate enough to purchase.

Got a Kindle?

Seminars

I present day-long seminars on a wide variety of genealogical topics across the United States. Email me at mjnrootdig@gmail.com with date/location of your event and I'll be in touch with lecture topics and other details.
